Let's do it!

Double Dragon: Neo Geo - Arcade/Coin-Op

Tips:
Basic moves:
Z = Light Kick
X = Light Punch.
C = Heavy Kick.
D= Heavy Punch.
Generally speaking you want to mostly use heavy attacks.

When opponent is dizzy on ground press down and attack button. You will jump and land on them. Never do this to Marian.
Back = block.
Down = crouch.
Double Tap back or forward = hop
Up = Jump
Double Up = Jump High

If you win the first two rounds of a match then you will receive a bonus that makes sandbagging - intentionally losing 1 of the 3 rounds - not helpful. So try to win every match.

There are bonuses for time and energy so try to win fast and without getting hit.

If you plan on clearing the game then you should practice in Full Mode. The last two guys (bosses) have different mechanics and you wont beat them without learning their styles first.

When you select a character you will see three special moves.
"Charge": Your charge bar must be 100% to pull this off.
"Special 1" and "Special 2" you can do these at any time.

I think Abobo is by far the easiest character to use for most players. Especially people that don't play lots of fighters.

Great Abobo moves.
Forward roll down + C or V or C and V. Spam this move. It can go through some attacks. Best move against Rebeca. This is easier on a keyboard. Just tap right and down back and forth with two fingers as fast as you can while you press C & V.

Jump Kick (Up + Forward then V) followed by double punch (V X2). Especially against Burnov and Abobo.

When opponent is about to stand Up + Back while in air Up + Forward then C or V then Double V. You will jump away and then land a kick as soon as they stand and knock them back down. Repeat.

Duck and C. Upper cut. Best move for Dulton. Requires timing.

Duck and V. Sweep kick. Really good against Cheng-Fu.

You want the easy characters to come late in game. Hard characters early. I reset if the first opponent isn't Billy, Jimmy or Eddie. You don't want to face them late in the game.

Good luck and let's see who can clear the game first!

Can you explain this any further?

That about Marian, was it a joke?

If a character takes too much damage in a short amount of time they will be dizzy - they can not move for a few seconds. If they are knocked down when this happens then you can press down and an attack button and you will jump and land on them to do lots of damage. This is also a good time for most characters to do their super move if you have the power.

Which is the attack button?

any punch of kick button.

(in you post you also talk for a V button, which one is this?)

The V key on your keyboard if you are using default settings. In Neo Geo this is the D button. Hard Punch.

That about Marian, was it a joke?

No. She recovers from dizzy very fast. You don't have time to jump on her.

Good luck.

I saw what's dizzy, I already played some games and made a score of 353,000. My question was about which is the "attack" button.
I can't also understand how to create the "super move", if power bar is full.

When you say "press down", you mean to move joystick in down direction?

Which one is that "attack" button? Button A, B, C or D?

When selecting your character it shows you three different special moves. The super move is the bottom one.

Billy and Jimmy require you to press 4 buttons. Most likely your keyboard can not send 4 simultaneous button presses to MAME.

When you say "press down", you mean to move joystick in down direction?

Yes.

You mean [or] instead of [of]?

Yes.

Which one is that "attack" button? Button A, B, C or D?

All/any.

[hocus pocus]

So, if opponent is dizzy and down (not standing?) I move joy down direction and press any of my four buttons.

You mean the top one.
I see this picture but not clear. What do these arrows mean, and which buttons?
Maybe I move joy right, right/down, down and press two attack buttons at the same time?

[Kong]

Yes, top one.
Yes, move joy right, right/down, down and press two attack buttons at the same time

Not working, my friend. Nothing happens.
Besides, until you move 3 times your joy, opponent has already smashed your face
Does it work for you(Abobo)?

When opponent is dizzy on ground press down and attack button. You will jump and land on them.

Most of times this does not work. Standing or down.

...Never do this to Marian.

I did it once on Marian and worked

You want the easy characters to come late in game. Hard characters early. I reset if the first opponent isn't Billy, Jimmy or Eddie. You don't want to face them late in the game.

I think that Eddie is easier than Billy and Jimmy. I also think that a character you face later is always difficult, for examble even the "porker" Burnov won me 2-0 when I faced him later. If I get porker in first round I usually win him 2-0 and my life undamaged.
